They say pressure makes diamonds, but on Saturday 8th March, it mostly made a group of red-and-white-clad lunatics wonder if they were ever going to make it to the pitch.

Super Saturday. The day when boys become men, girls become women, and English fans continue to cry into their Guinness as they suffer another year without winning Six Nations.

Old Alleynians came to Hurlingham park sat just one place above Hammers in the league, but with some very impressive results in their first season at Level 5, not least their comfortable home win against the Hammers before Christmas, which showed them to be a well-drilled and hard-carrying attacking outfit with a solid defence to […]

Camberley kicked off with […]
After an up and down start to 2025, the Hammers welcomed fellow southwest Londoners to Wimbledon to Hurlingham Park.
